课程知识的开放性与个体的自我关怀——兼与叶波博士商榷

The Openness of Curriculum Knowledge and the Self Care of Individual——A Discussion with Dr. Ye Bo

叶波博士的《课程知识选择:从"谁的"到"何以可能"》一文存在未对知识做出清晰的界定、未察觉出课程的隐性假设即是知识的合法性问题、论述中焦点位移、未触及当代社会中个体的安身立命等问题。其原因在于作者未能识别出课程知识在从"什么"到"谁的"再到"何以可能"的转换中,始终是一个封闭性和排他性概念。在个体化时代,我们需要一种竞争的知识观和助力个体自我关怀的教育观,保持课程知识的开放性,尤其致力于个体自我关怀的方法性知识,以增强个体应对不确定性的能力。

There are four problems in Dr. Ye Bo’s article “The Choice of Curriculum Knowledge: from ‘Whose’ to ‘How Can It Be Possible’”. The first one is that knowledge is not clearly defined. The second one is that he does not realize the implicit assumption of curriculum is the legitimacy of knowledge. The third one is the shift of focus in the discussion. The fourth one is that it does not touch upon the individual’s life in contemporary society. The reason is that the author fails to recognize that curriculum knowledge is always a closed and exclusive concept in the transformation from “what” to “who”, then to “how possible”. In the era of individualization, we need a competitive view of knowledge and a view of education that can support the self care of individual, maintain the openness of curriculum knowledge, especially the methodological knowledge of individual self care in order to improve their ability to deal with uncertainty.
